AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding a suitable food-safe sealant for decorating champagne flutes with henna. The original poster notes that traditional sealants like Mod Podge are ineffective on glass, as they wash off during cleaning. They seek alternatives that can adhere to glass, dry clear, and remain intact after washing. Suggestions include researching food-safe sealants online and considering glass etching as a potential enhancement for the design. A link to Dymax products is provided for further exploration.

This may be in the very wrong place, but it certainly can't hurt to ask.

I have a pair of champagne flutes that I was hoping to decorate with henna. Since glass isn't porous, the henna won't leave a stain, so I was going to just let the paste dry and leave it on. I do the same thing with candles; to keep the paste from coming off the candle, I use Mod Podge glue sealant. However, I can't use Mod Podge on glasses. When I wash them the glue and the henna will come off.

So. What sealants are there that are food-safe for use on glass, dry clear, and won't wash off?

My suggestion would be to look them up on google. You might want to look into something to etch the glass first, might look nicer.

Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
